Hello everyone, I'm a security faction, today's little question, do you know what are anti-cut gloves?
Cut-resistant gloves are a type of personal protective equipment that is widely used in a variety of industrial and occupational fields. Various standards have been developed in different countries and regions to ensure the quality and performance of these gloves.
In this article, we will ** three common international standards for cut-resistant gloves: the Chinese National Standard (GB), the European Standard (EN) and the American Standard (ANSI ISEA).
1.National Standard (GB) cut-resistant gloves
The requirements of the Chinese National Standard (GB) for anti-cut gloves are mainly regulated by the "GB 24540-2009 Protective gloves - Requirements and test methods for cutting and cutting resistance".
The standard contains a series of requirements for the performance of cut-resistant gloves, such as cutting performance class, cutting index, etc. Common products include gloves made of materials such as high polyethylene fiber, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, etc. These gloves are suitable for a variety of fields such as construction, glass industry, etc.
2.European standard (EN) cut-resistant gloves
The European Standard (EN) sets out a series of standards related to cut-resistant gloves, the most important of which is EN 388. The EN 388 standard specifies the properties of gloves for their resistance to cuts, abrasions, punctures and tears, and by testing these properties, the gloves can be tested to obtain the corresponding performance class.
Common European standard cut-proof glove materials include glass fiber, metal wire, etc., which are suitable for metal processing, machinery manufacturing and other industries.
3.ANSI ISA cut resistant gloves
The American standard (ANSI ISEA) standard for cut-resistant gloves is mainly ANSI ISEA 105-2016. The standard defines the properties of cutting, puncture, abrasion resistance, etc., and the corresponding performance levels are also obtained through testing.
The commonly used anti-cut glove materials in the United States are high-performance polyethylene fiber, steel wire, glass fiber, etc., which are widely used in construction, woodworking and other industries.
The difference between the three standards.Test Method Differences:GB:The test method used in GB 24540-2009 is relatively basic, focusing on the evaluation of cutting performance.
European standard:The EN 388 standard includes not only cutting performance, but also tests for a number of other performance indicators.
American Standard:ANSI ISEA 105-2016 also focuses on a number of performance tests, similar to the European standard.
Performance Classification Differences:GB:The cutting index is mainly used as a criterion to evaluate the performance of gloves.
European standard:The EN 388 standard covers multiple performance indicators such as cut, wear, tear, etc., each of which has a corresponding grade.
American Standard:ANSI ISEA 105-2016 also uses a number of performance indicators to indicate the performance level of gloves through a hierarchy.
Material Requirements Differences:GB:Materials such as high polyethylene fibers are mainly used.
European standard:It is widely used, including fiberglass, wire, etc.
American Standard:Commonly used high-performance polyethylene fiber, steel wire, glass fiber and other materials.
Product application scenarios.Application scenarios of national standard cut-proof gloves:Architectural Field:For construction workers who need protection against hand cutting.
Glass industry:It is used in the work of handling, cutting glass, etc.
European standard cut-proof gloves application scenarios:
Metalworking:Ideal for work environments where sharp metals need to be handled.
Mechanical Engineering:Provides effective hand protection when operating machinery and equipment.
Application scenarios of American Standard cut-resistant gloves:
Construction and carpentry fields:It provides effective protection for the handling of sharp objects such as wood and sawdust.
Electrical Industry:It is used in the handling of sharp cables, wires, etc.
Conclusion.There are certain differences between the three standards in terms of the specification of cut-resistant gloves, but they all have strict requirements to ensure the performance and quality of gloves.
Whether it is a national, European or American standard, the purpose is to provide effective hand protection and ensure that workers can work safely in hazardous environments. The selection of the right cut-resistant gloves should be considered according to the specific work scenario and glove performance level requirements to ensure the safety of workers to the greatest extent.
